The party thus seeking to overthrdw the Honse were, in comparison of nutribeit, small, with those of a different temperno danger was to be apprets trended from -their efforts,they were harmless in point pf numbers, and contemptible, from the wild and chimerical notions they possessed on the subjed of what they termed Reform—they seemed to wish to have a HoUse of Commons which should, like. the rod of the Prophet, swallow up`tile other branches of the Legislatureithq could not consent that the other branches should have a co-ordinate jutisdidion. It was, however, the opinion of some tespedable men of great learning and talsrtei among which be could name'Sir James Mackin tosh, Who, •in giving their opinions of the Govern ment of France, previous to the Revolution ; assert ed, that the authority of King and Lords ; wh:in placed in comparison with the authority of the re presentatives of the people, was rio more than as dust thrown into the balance. This was the opinion of 'Sir lanes Maekintosh, and be regretted that 'at any time of his life such an eminent man should-, have held such a doCtrine. That Learned Gentleman had, h,owever, subsequently endeavoured, as much as lay in his power, to destrOy the effete which his for mer opinion bad been calculated to produce. It was not to be wished that the power of the people should .become para Mount to that of the Legislature; such power would, if suffered to exist, lead to the most dangerous consequences.• The objed which the- Honourable Gentleman had in view by the present motion, was to inquire in the Committee into the nature and extent of the abuses which had crop; in, aad, as he (Mr. C.) presumed, it then was in tended to provide some remedy for curingithem. If sa, not think this House bad the authority, being only one branch of the Legislature. Al though-of late a great deal had been sil of the ne cessity of Parham( nutty Reform, yet he could not avoid recolleding, that when the people of a neigh bouring country, some years ,since began their re formation with a similaraleclaration, pretending the greatest-resped to the Peers, and perserial attach ment to the Sur, reign. When the work of it:for mation had begun, and they had succeeded to a cer tain extent - in it, then the King and- the Lords found that their security stood upon a very tot teritig .basis. Men who, from the onset' of the Revolution, proleised • to have the People's in terest at heart, and to support their cause, were, removed for their influence_ and authority in the State, and their successors brought on all the anarchy and confusion which followed, and pro duced the horrors which subsequently attended the French Revolution., Parliamentary Reform was An unknown sea on which he did not like to venture himself without ask pilo!, because be was at raid he might be thrown upon an unknown Coast. It had been argued that it was necessary , to have refo rm , because all the o t h er countties necessary. Europe had seen the bad effects of the want of it, and were compelled to submit to the dictates of the arbitrary tyrant. Was it 'not quite different ? Here Englaed stood alone amidst the general shock unhurt and he really bdievei because she had not undergone'a Re form in Parliament. It was by net 'adopting these s.ecious innovations which were suggested by many of the reformists that this country was preserved from the calamitous fate which awaited the other nations of Europe, which had thrown down other govern ments less stable and firm than the British Govern ment. It had been said in support of the project of Reim m, that the convequence of it would be to pre clude all profligate and wanton expenditure of the public money, and to prevent all unjust and unne cessary wars. Such opinions 'Might be theoreti cally correct, but he was perfectly convinced that - in no country could it be carried ir to effectpracti cally. He would appeal to the recollections of many Gentlemen who heard him, whether for the last fitly years the people of this country had not been greater advocates for war than the Government. It had been the public feeling during the administration of Sir Robert Walpole; and although it was soon as certained that• that distinguished Statesman wished to preserve peace, yet the public voice was so strong for war, that he was obliged to comply with their - wishes, and the consequence was, that ihe very peo ple who had desired compliance with their wishes, turned the tables, and the current of public opinion was hostile to that Statesman. Even supposing that Reform was desirable, it would be too much to ap pettl to the People; for allowing their objects to be law and honourable, they must, in ,some degree or other always be guided by party prejudices, as well as the Members of the House of COMmons.. He did not mean so insist that the people would' not be of,the same opinion as their Representatives, , but he thought the House ought not too implicitly to • obey their hasty dictates, as from the constitution 'of human nature all Were liable to err, especially when Reform was, as he had already observed, - the wishes of a -small portion only of the_people. If the people 'were displeased with the conduct of their representatives, they had the power of not elect ing them again, and it was well known that on , Many occasions when the people had so aded, they • had exercised that right which the Constitution of the country vested in them, and had 'eleded whom they pleased. In the reign of King William the Parliament might -be call e d a L anded Parliament. The increase of commerce bad induced many com mercial gentlemen to obtaio • seats in Parliament, and guarded the rights and interests of those whose pursuits Were similar to their own,—they contributed their share to the public busiiess; and gave additional vigour acrd energy so the court; ry, and of course were entitled to hat - e a share in the legislative functions. The Constitution proved no barrier between th e diff erent c l asses of the commu nity ; all, according to- their merit and property, partook of honour and advancement in the State. With. the experience before them of the fate of Other nations under Reform, he hopyd and trusted, the House would be cautious how they saw:lion ed any plan Which might in effect be dangerous: This House ought not to establish itself higher than the Croon, or the inevitable cohseque:iee rime the con that That Bose, edge.
